Later, this information was denied, and it was reported that an agricultural aircraft supposedly caused these sounds and flights. The State Emergency Committee also supported this version.

It should be noted that the 'Salavatnefteorgsintez' enterprise in the city of Salavat is one of the largest oil refining facilities in Russia.

This is not the first similar incident in Bashkortostan. In May 2024, a UAV attacked a catalytic cracking unit.

Recall that yesterday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck at enemy targets. The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, together with other components of the Defense Forces, attacked important facilities in Russian regions. In particular, an oil depot in the Kaluga region.

There were also reports of a UAV attack on an oil storage facility in the Samara region, resulting in access to the village of Sosnivka being blocked. Residents of the village claim that drones attempted to attack the oil storage facility.
